Abstract
The implementation of the globalisation project may represent not the end o f history but a return to pre-Keynesian capitalism. The gross conditions wh ich inspired Marx's 19th century critique of capitalism are seen to be flou rishing again. How are we to mitigate capitalism's propensity to destroy it self and at the same time assist the labour movement's struggle for better conditions? A rereading of the Communist Manifesto offers some useful insig hts.
